These Foolish Things - Rod Stewart, Michael Buble


 A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces

An airline ticket to romantic placesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartmentThose stumbling words that told you what my heart meantA fair ground's painted swingsThese foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw and you conquered meWhen you did that to meI knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancerA telephone that rings, but who's to answer?Oh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish things remind me of you
The scent of smoldering leaves, the wail of steamersTwo lovers on the street who walk like dreamersOh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you stillThese things are dear to meThey seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stationsSilk stockings thrown aside, dance invitationsOh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish things remind me of youRemind me of youRemind me of you

Summernights - KC and Sunshine Band


Songwriters: Jim Jacobs / Warren Casey 
1. Watching raindrops fallingTaking me back to when I saw youIn those summer nightsI've been often wonderingHow could I fall into a thing that was so right?
2. But you appeared to meYour love was HeavenlyHot summer memoriesTaking me back, taking me back
3. Those summer nights, those summer nights (those summer nights)You stepped out of a dreamA summer breeze, what a sensual sea (summer nights, those summer nights)Cupids arrows at me cling (summer nights, those summer nights)
4. We were often runningSuddenly summer disappeared and so did youShould have seen it comingNothing so good could ever last a whole life through
5. Now just your ghost remainsLiving inside my brainNow everytime it rainsIt takes me back, it takes me back
6.Those summer nights, those summer nightsStepped out of a dreamA summer breeze, what a sensual sea (summer nights, those summer nights)Cupids arrows at me cling(Summer nights, those summer nights)
